"I caught up with Alarum's Mark Palfreyman over the weekend to discuss the latest album Recontinue, the evolution of Alarum, Inspiration, themes, recent and upcoming shows, and all things Alarum.
Mark Palfreyman, the driving force behind the Australian progressive metal band Alarum, he has been a pivotal figure in the metal scene since the band's formation in 1992.
